    Bm7
You offer your assistance
Bm7                         F#m
But you won't accept my help
    Bm7
You draw your own conclusions
Bm7                             F#m
And there's room for little else

     Bm         Bm/A
Your own participation's
         E/G#              E
Based on how much you can lose
  F#m              E
I cannot help but feel
               B/D#
That this won't be of any use

Chorus:
D Bm F#m
    Don't offer me your credit
                              D Bm
'Cause I do not want the blame
      F#m
Don't do me any favours
                              D C#m7
I don't want to play that game

   D
I do not want to see myself
D                         F#m
As someone that you saved
     D
I'd rather be your adversary
D                     F#m
Than to be your slave

'Cause every friendly gesture
Turns my stomach inside out
Don't do me any favours
I am better off without

Chorus:
Don't offer me your credit
'Cause I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favours
I don't want to know your name

Bm7        D
  But it's all right
A/C#        G#/C
  Yes, it's all right
Bm          F#m
  Yes, it's all right
Bm          F#m
  Yes, it's all right
Bm          F#m
  Yes, it's all right

Don't give me your credit
'Cause I do not want the blame
Don't do me any favours
I don't want to know your name

      F#m              D  Bm
Don't do me any favours
      F#m
Don't do me any favours
      F#m
Don't do me any favours

        F#m
But it's all right
Yes, it's all right
It's all right
Yes, it's all right
It's all right
Yes, it's all right
